Is best to try to avoid addiction to social-media, when they become anything-but-social-media.
I can and sometimes do live without it, mainly when on holiday somewhere. Though I have my portable 'phone with me it's not linked to the Internet and spends most of the time switched off.
Lest that last clause puzzles anyone, yes they can be switched off!

I'm trying to limit my phone usage. Every night I put it aside at 7:30pm and not use it until 7:30 am. Unless I get a call or text message. No facebook, no snap, no looking things up. Just started and discovered it is tough. Trying to hang tough.

I think I could go forever without social media.
The only reason I use it, is because I don't have a companion or friends in real life. Social media is hardly a substitute for real-life contacts.

people don't communicate deeply on ground anymore
But I never did. I communicate much more online than I ever did in person. I'm just not that gregarious and self confident.

Easily. I've had the last week in April with no social media or even watched TV. I do think a lot of people are wasting their lives on social media.

It has been a while since I have done it. Summertime is the season to get way way out into the wilderness. Far away from any cell service.

I’ve just been several months without it while I focused on having a baby.

Absolutely.

I do that periodically. It actually feels good.
PhoenixPhail · M
@DrWatson I do that, too. And, it does feel good.
Gingerbreadspice · F
I do but I almost certainly head to TikTok or YouTube still without fail. I don’t post I’m only there to watch videos.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
Yeah if I go on vacation I do.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
No problem at all.
I can go a lot longer than that, and have.
HumanEarth · F
I went 40 plus years without it
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@HumanEarth Well put. I think society was well, generally more sociable before "social-media"... he says on a social medium.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
I went years without it before and I could easily go years without it again.
Willow2025 · F

Not here to so shall I's
